Please add the JBL Performance Series for review. It consists of three units:

PT800 tower $1500
PC600 center $1500
PS1400 sub $1599

I'm a little confused where it would go category-wise. It's really a set, usually sold in 5.1 or 7.1 configurations, but it hardly qualifies as HTIB. You can probably put the sub in the subwoofer category and the center in the center speaker category, but the tower is not really a floorstanding or a bookshelf speaker. And all three are really meant to be a system as their components and crossovers are closely linked.

Still, it's a great product and I'd like to see it covered.

I categorized them individually, and I put the PT800 into Main Speakers, at least for now. Their review pages are as follows:

Thanks, Todd. I know it was an awkward fit.

The items you requested weren't the problem, the inconsistent category names are the problem. The "Main Speakers" category describes how the speakers are used, the "Bookshelf Speakers" category describes how they're designed. I brought this issue up with Chris, but it's probably far down the list of things to do. Until it gets resolved, I'll probably just keep listing all the floorstanding/bookshelf/main speaker additions under "Main Speakers".
